Suspension Techniques Sway Bars!

All i see around here are addco and stillen sway bars. Are there other makes or models out there for the max and has anyone else tried them for the rear sways? The best price I found for addco was 115, any one know of local shops in L.A. that sells these things?

Also, what brands for strut braces in the front?

thanks.

i haven't seen any shops in L.A. that sell them... the only brands of FSTBs i've seen are stillen and courtesy. maybe there's more but i haven't heard of them.

I believe he is only talking about sway bars, not the strut bar. I thought only Stillen and Addco made the rear sway bars?

Maxximum Tuning will release a front tower brace that will utilize mounting points on the firewall, and a lower tie bar to tie together the lower control arms. Our JDM Tuning agent IMPUL has a FSTB available for the 4th Gen. As for RSBs, we have a manufacturer known by the name Whiteline Engineering that will be making an RSB for Maxximum Tuning, pricing will be more than the Addco, but not as much as the STILLEN. Currently going through different diameters, and possibly offering 2 different sets, one for street use, and one for AutoX use.
Our Coilovers are done, so now its time to test on the street. by Spring 2002, we will release pics, and the actual product.
Looks like spring 2002 is going to be a good time to see some new stuff for the Max! Chargers, suspention parts and what not. Hey Yo, why not give us a list of what all is going to come out. I am curious as to what I have to save for....

Two major Projects: "Dark Matter" is a turbo 4th gen, and another to be started on is "One Lap", which will be an AutoX car complete w/ coilovers, RSB, upper, lower braces, and roll cage.
Dark Matter will showcase the ultimate build up on a VQ30DE w/ boost expected over 1.0 bar(14.7Psi+)
One Lap will be trying for the ultimate suspension, and chasis dynamics to break 1.0g in 300ft skidpad, and campaign a Maxima in a Road Racing series, Ultimate goal being able to compete in "One Lap of America."

Does Maxximum Tuning have a website yet?
